Fantastic vid, very cool music, great background on the theft and your perspective on it and the gifts of learning about life you received from it. As was said above, theft can rock your world. Awhile back, I remember having the feeling that bringing in the daily gross pay was a bit automatic, almost like it was a given. Then my trucks got robbed. And that's when I was reminded that the daily income can only happen if you do indeed have all your gear, not to mention your health, at the ready. Made me appreciate more all that gear and all that daily work that over time had started to get taken for granted.
Your burl hunter pal has a lot of timber falling experience apparently, his stump and technique scream PNW faller.
Nice array of techniques shown, including the 2:1 on the speedline. Seems like you were a Blakes or tautline guy not so long ago but you show a lot of higher tech gear recently including the hitchclibmer, zig zag, and Rope Runner, can you comment on how you like these various climbing devices?
How, pray tell, did you get the far away footage of the tree being pieced out??
Between the video production quality and the narration and music, truly a remarkable video.
Well done, sir!
